MDC activist fights for his life

An MDC youth activist, Solomon Mazvokwadi of Chipinge East, Manicaland province is fighting for his life at Chipinge hospital after he was he brutally battered by soldiers at Green Valley on Wednesday. According to Chipinge East MP, Hon. Mathias Mlambo, the MDC Chipinge district executive was today making frantic efforts to transfer Mazvokwadi from Chipinge to a hospital in either Mutare or Harare as his health was seriously deteriorating due to the injuries sustained.


Hon. Mlambo said Mazvokwadi, 32, was abducted on Wednesday at 6PM from his home by a group of ten armed soldiers who took him to Green Valley farm where the soldiers have a constructed makeshift barrack. Mazvokwadi was heavily assaulted by the soldiers until he was rescued by his wife and MDC activists who had gone to enquire about the abduction at 2 PM. They found him unconscious and took him to Chipinge hospital.

Meanwhile, the trial of Masvingo Urban MP and deputy Youth Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment Minister, Hon. Tongai Matutu failed to kick off at the Masvingo magistrates courts after all the four magistrates based at the courts recused themselves from the case citing various reasons. Hon. Matutu is facing fictitious charges of assaulting Zanu PFs Vengesai Rushwaya in September. The trial has been postponed to next Thursday when a new magistrate is expected to hear the case.

Together, united, winning, ready for real change!
